Henrik Zetterberg: has all the tools and a great team to play on.
Sidney Crosby: can’t leave him off a list like this.
WHO WILL BE THE BIGGEST FANTASY BUST?
Ilya Kovalchuk: Not much talent around him.
Sean Avery: will anyone care about his antics in Dallas?
Nathan Horton: see Kovalchuk.
AGING VET WHO WILL PUT TOGETHER A CAREER YEAR?
Miroslav Satan: I could have a career year playing with Crosby.
Nikolai Zherdev: have a good feeling about him on Broadway.
Shane Doan: having Olli Jokinen center for him will certainly help out.
PRODUCTIVE AGING VET WHO WILL FINALLY DROP OFF?
Paul Kariya: Might have been the winner last season as well.
Rod Brind'Amour: only because of age and injuries.
Patrick Elias: seems to have lost a step.
BREAKOUT YOUNGSTER?
Carey Price: He is that good.
Peter Mueller: don’t look now, but they are building something in the desert.
Anze Kopitar: if he played on a better team, you would’ve heard about him last season.
YOUNGSTER WHO WILL BUST?
Steven Stamkos: Would love to have his future, but too much pressure for this season.
Andrew Cogliano: not sure if he can stay healthy for an entire season.
Kyle Turris: not sold on him at all.
OUT OF NOWHERE SLEEPER (VET OR YOUNGSTER)?
Mathieu Garon: Solid goalie who should be the starter on a better team than people think.
Brandon Dubinsky: really like this kid, will center the second line, moving Chris Drury to wing.
Alex Hemsky: with a proven goal scorer on his line, we may finally see his full potential.
BLUELINER WHO WILL HAVE THE BEST FANTASY SEASON?
Nicklas Lidstrom: Loaded team, and he's just a great player.
Dion Phaneuf: once Lidstrom retires, it may be his turn to own the Norris Trophy.
